Bulk Script Generation & Text to Speech
- You can use different AI models to create very high-engaging scripts for your videos (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek V3, etc.).
- You can ask these models to create more variations of scripts or write new ones again and again, so you can produce scripts in bulk.

Content Scheduling and Publishing
- Scheduling can be done when you are uploading a video on YouTube, but you can’t bulk-schedule multiple videos automatically via YouTube’s native interface.
- You can use third-party services, such as TubeBuddy, to schedule bulk uploads. There are also other similar tools available.
- Publishing automatically on YouTube is a bit complex, and I also don’t fully understand it, but some people do it using Python, API, etc. So, you can explore and check it yourself.
Automated Thumbnail and Graphics Generation
- For an automated thumbnail, you can use many Text-to-image or image-to-image AI models, which can generate highly desired thumbnails.
- You can use ChatGPT, Imagen, Midjourney, Flux, etc., AI models to create stunning graphics for your video production.
Keyword Research and Tag Generation
- For keyword research, you can use the two very popular tools VidIQ and TubeBuddy, as they provide you with keywords with competition and monthly searches.
- You can also use Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude 4, etc., to brainstorm ideas for keywords.
- So, use both approaches to find low-hanging fruit keywords, which will give you faster growth.
- For tag generation, it is quite easy—several websites on the Internet give you unlimited free tag generation.
- You have to just write the seed/main keyword, and those websites will automatically generate relevant tags. The most famous one is RapidTags.
